Sam, a young woman whose children have been taken by the government because of her heroin addiction, is introduced. The difficulty of her journey to remain clean for the sake of getting her kids back is shown. Meanwhile White Dee, characterised as the "mother of the street" in the first episode is captured here in her sometimes trying role as an actual parent.
